Volunteers Fan Out Again For Missing Bay Area Nursing Student

Investigators have reclassified Le’s missing person case as a homicide investigation. But the men and women out looking for her Friday were undeterred, and many said they simply couldn’t accept authorities’ explanation of what had happened to the young woman.

The 26-year-old woman was last seen May 27 leaving Kaiser Hospital in Hayward as she took a break from her shift. No suspects have been identified.
